Niches / Collectathon + Relaxing

Niche

Collectathon + Relaxing

Games tagged both Collectathon and Relaxing: 135 indie paid launches, 7 of them earned $100k+ in their first year.

How to read this page

  • A hit is an estimated $100k+ first year. Revenue is estimated from Steam reviews, so read figures as "about". Earnings are sales on Steam after discounts and regional prices, before Steam's 30% cut, refunds and sales tax. About 58% of it reaches the developer.
  • Price moves the odds more than genre does, so the page opens on one price band. The keys in section 2 switch it.
  • From 26,280 indie paid launches 12 to 36 months old, data of 3 Oct 2026. How it is measured.

Showing Collectathon + Relaxing priced $10 to $20. This filter changes the answer: at all prices the pair is about level with Collectathon and is about level with Relaxing; priced $10 to $20 it is too small to compare with Collectathon and is too small to compare with Relaxing.

2Overlap: where the two tags meet

Each circle is one tag, sized by its launches, and the gold overlap is exactly this pair. Click a part to read it. Price changes the odds more than genre does (under $5: 0.5 in 100 launches earned $100k+; $20 to $40: 40.0 in 100), so read it within a price band.

What the overlap means

The overlap is this niche: the 18 games tagged both Collectathon and Relaxing priced $10 to $20. 3 of 18 of them earned $100k+, against 12.6 in 100 for Collectathon-only games and 21.7 in 100 for Relaxing-only games, so the mix is too small to compare with Collectathon alone and is too small to compare with Relaxing alone.

Both: 18 games priced $10 to $20; 3 of 18 earned $100k+, typical first-year earnings $29,960.

Circle areas follow launch counts; the gold overlap is exactly the pair's 18 launches. The outer parts are each tag's launches minus the pair's, so their chance is exact; their typical earnings are not computed yet.
